these jail types. The naming scheme is as follows:

allow better management when trying to figure out which jail a given epair is
linked to. Due to a limitation in how long an interface name can be, Bastille
will truncate "jailname" to avoid errors if it is too long. So,
mylongjailname will be e0a_mylongjxxme and e0b_mylongjxxme. The xx
